#prosecutorialdiscretion — Public Fediverse posts

@BuckRogers1965 @jaykuo Counterpoint: #StatuesOfLimitations #FiniteResources #ProsecutorialDiscretion #Unfettered #PardonAuthority ; #Trump has even attempted to pardon a Colorado election official, convicted on state charges, who allowed illegal access to voting machines to his partisans — contrary to most characterizations of his pardon authority. He has not acknowledged to my knowledge that he may not #pardon himself, so I expect him to attempt to do so rather than the Nixon-Ford shuffle of the previous most disgraceful US President.

Andrew Weissmann re the 3 gun charges #HunterBiden has been #indicted for:

These multiple charges smack of govt #retaliation. Two of the three charges are IDENTICAL; hard to see the proper exercise of #ProsecutorialDiscretion here; & this is after the prosecution really messed up the #plea first time around. And the tax charges still will be brought.
